Sailing into 2013

Guo Chuan, also crossing the Pacific hoping to round the Horn this summer.

Others are planning. In this week's news magazine sailing hero Pete Goss is just about to embark on a sailing kayak trip, circumnavigating Tasmania; and over in Thailand a would-be adventurer, out to break the world Laser distance sailing record is waiting for the money to fix a broken mast. Another – less competent – sailor has just been rescued after being lost off the coast of Vietnam without food for eight days. The rescue was the best Christmas present he could have wanted.

Whether you are on the water or celebrating on the shore, let's hope your Christmas was the one you dreamed of, that the New Year will be a new beginning, and that 2013 will bring you everything you want for yourself.
